Internal VMI management

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that the topic of internal Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) management is not directly addressed. However, there are some related discussions that might be useful. In the first thread, a client is looking for a VMI solution to warehouse their customer's inventory. One suggestion is to use RF-SMART, a third-party solution that can handle inventory tracking and other backend needs through customization. This solution is not a true VMI but can serve the purpose if the needs are straightforward. In the second thread, the discussion is about internal invoicing within the same subsidiary. The suggestions include creating entities with “representing department” and “department” fields and reporting on the outcome, or creating allocation schedules. In the third thread, the discussion revolves around handling mis-ships, short ships, or over ships from an inventory and general ledger standpoint. The suggestion is to address operational issues rather than system issues. It is recommended to create an Item Fulfillment (IF) based on what was told shipped, and create Return Authorization (RA)/Credit Memo (CM) for those things not actually shipped. It is also suggested to consider getting the third-party logistics (3PL) on NetSuite and off their random warehouse management systems. Creating Inventory Adjustments (IA's) for things that shipped is not recommended as it does not provide a clear historical data/reporting on what has happened. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
